WISCONSIN FLOW REPORT

Last Updated: December 28, 2025

Wisconsin's river enthusiasts should gear up for varying streamflow conditions across the state's waterways. Notably, the Fox River at Oil Tank Depot in Green Bay has experienced a significant surge, reporting a streamflow of 9440 cubic feet per second (cfs), which is 56.82% above normal, likely raising concerns for potential flooding in Green Bay and surrounding areas. Contrastingly, the Menominee River near Mc Allister shows a current streamflow of 2220 cfs, a decrease of 4.31 over the last 24 hours, indicating a drop in water levels that might affect local aquatic activities. Seasonal trends suggest that areas along the Trempealeau River at Dodge are witnessing streamflow increases with a current measurement of 953 cfs, an alarming 61.26% above normal, suggesting possible flow surges that could impact the communities of Dodge and Arcadia.

Additionally, whitewater aficionados looking at the Bois Brule River at Brule should note an increase in streamflow, now at 183 cfs, which is lower than average but has risen by an impressive 53.78 cfs in 24 hours. This could indicate a temporary boost in conditions for rapids and kayaking. Conversely, the Wisconsin River at Wisconsin Rapids is experiencing a streamflow downturn, now at 2290 cfs, 37.88% below the norm, potentially signaling lower water levels impacting recreational use. With several rivers experiencing flow levels considerably below normal averages, such as the Manitowoc River at Manitowoc (148 cfs, -73.47%) and the Oconto River near Oconto (493 cfs, -34.74%), residents near these rivers should stay informed about potential flow droughts. Water enthusiasts and communities should remain vigilant and stay updated on these dynamic conditions, particularly in regions facing abnormally high or low streamflows.
